Certain preference changes not saved nor applied

[SammaySarkar]

Hello, I've had LiveCode community 6.5.1 installed (on Windows 7 x64) for a few weeks now. But recently I've noticed that some preference changes do not get applied (sometimes they revert back after restarting LiveCode).
Here's a list:
• Backdrop color (Preference dialog shows changed color, but the backdrop always remains black.)
• "in LiveCode's own Windows" checkbox UNDER "Command-Option or Control-Alt click edits scripts"
• Update checkboxes (All four update checkboxes are always checked, even after I uncheck them.)

I can live with some of these... bugs (?) but the backdrop color is really very irritating.

I (probably) fixed the update preference.

The state of the checkboxes depend on non-existent custom properties of "revPreference".
For example this is the line that controls whether "Notify me of development releases" is checked or not:

Code: Select all

set the hilite of button "Notify me of development releases" to the cNotifyMeOfReleaseCandidates of stack "revPreferences"

But the corresponding custom property of "revPreferences" is cNotifyMeOfDevelopmentReleases.
So I renamed the properites correctly. Now the checkboxes in Preferences->Update remember their checked or not-checked state.

However, I still haven't found a fix for the non-changeable backdrop color . Even executing this script doesn't change the backdrop color from black :

Code: Select all

set backdrop to "50,200,30"

Please, post your bug and fixes on http://quality.runrev.com/
This way all will be corrected in the next release.

Alright, thanks. I'll wait for the next release, then. (few more problems there are... If they also get fixed first let's see... )
